right. why do I forget?  Maybe because it doesn't function like -C: -c 
also requires you to re-run Freshen to get an answer, whereas -C doesn't 
let you rebuild (or even invalidate) its cache WITHOUT giving you 
Freshen-results.

funny, in computer science (what an odd name), phrasing everything 
negatively seems like a helpful practice, a.k.a. nitpicking can be 
helpful, because pointing out where the problems are is (1) half the 
work and (2) it is preferred if you not say what you mean because you're 
not expected to be able to know about everything that matters to you, 
and knowledge-in-part has pitfalls that appear rather rigidly compared 
to activism/anarchism/anthropology(I have no idea what to call it 
anymore, besides "me living", but it has a moral or gut component that I 
don't feel satisfied with everything I do, so it's not just defined as 
the totality of me living)
